Mapping Layer 7 Firewall Rules to NBAR IDs

Background

When the NBAR engine generates a block based on a configured Layer 7 Firewall rule, the Dashboard event log is populated with events that look like the following example:

Screen Shot 2022-06-01 at 10.10.52 AM.png

When looking at such an event, there are two key details that can be referenced to determine why the block occurred:

  • Classification: this value indicates the rule configured on Dashboard that triggered the block.
  • NBAR ID:  this value indicates the internal rule the NBAR engine matched the traffic to, based on specific factors within the Layer 7 (Application) payload in the packet(s) in question.

NOTE: DNS traffic (TCP/UDP Port 53) may also get blocked by Layer 7 rules if it contains a query for a domain the rule in question covers.

For example, you may see a block on UDP port 53 classified as "abc.com" if the "All News" rule is configured on Dashboard, and a user device sends a DNS query for said domain. 

More details on how these rules function can be found by searching for the logged ID value under this documentation. For more details on how to configure and implement NBAR, please refer to this article.

List of Categories

Clicking on the buttons under each category will display a table that maps which rule IDs NBAR will start blocking on when the corresponding rule is configured in Dashboard.

NOTE: Each category also has an "all" rule on Dashboard (e.g. All Advertising) that will apply every individual rule under it when configured.
